More Radio Play, Thanks to IAJE!

Here's how it works: You meet DJs and you have nice conversations and then you hand them your CD and say you'd love for them to play it, as you didn't pay for a radio promotion campaign and you have a fear of post offices so you've got to personally hand them out. If you're lucky, they do play them when they get home, and then they write something like this:
"When I play four of your songs and I get calls from my audience (unrequested phone calls), I know that you have managed to reach some emotional chords with my public. You are good and you make me look good so thank you and congratulations, keep up with the good work. We have an interview pending in the near future."
--Luis Campos, WDIY 88.1 FM, Bethlehem, PA
But that's not all! A listener from that station then wrote me the sweetest note:
Hi, I listen to WDIY out of Bethlehem PA, and last evening on Luis Campos program "Latin Jazz," I heard your "All Blues"--so nice. The arrangement is so fine. The bata drumming is captivating--at a loss for words. So thank you for your presence--it lingers on.
Sure enough, he bought my CD and now CD Baby tells me I'm one short of being out of stock. So, I guess I've got to overcome my fear of post offices and mail a bunch more. Yay!
